SEXTO PREDICAMENTO, Paſsion, y Paſsible.

TWELFTH DISCOURSE

SIXTH PREDICAMENT, Passion, y Passible.

Ariſt. vbi ſupra.

Como la Paſsion en el Paſsible es efecto de la Accion, rectamente el Philofopho colocò eſta Categoria inmediata à la Accion, difiniendo: Paſsion es recepcion en el que padece por la forma, que recibe en sì à cauſa del agente.

As Passion in the Passive is the effect of Action, the Philosopher rightly placed this Category immediately after Action, defining: Passion is the reception in the one who suffers from the form that it receives in itself because of the agent.

Aristotle, in the mentioned place above.

Por mnas claridad en eſta Ciencia (ſegun el ſentir de Autores graves) podrà dezirſe: Que como la Accion es diſpoſicion paſsiva en el ſugeto paſsible. De eſta difinicion reſulta, que por el efecto de la operacion, que executa el agente, ſe introduce forma cierta en el Paſsible; porque la potencia activa, aunque haziendo padece, ni tiene conſumado efecto, haſta que el acto ſe perficione.

For greater clarity in this Science (according to the opinion of serious Authors), it could be said: As Action is a passive disposition in the susceptible subject. From this definition it follows that, due to the effect of the operation executed by the agent, a certain form is introduced into the Passive; because the active power, although suffering in action, does not have a consummated effect until the act is perfected.

Oña, & alij loco citat.

Para eſta Ciecnia ſe entiende entre el agente Dieſtro, y ſu contrario, concurriendo en cada Treta quatro terminos conſiderables, que pertenecen à la Accion, y Paſsion de ambos combatientes: el primero, el principio de la Accion: el ſegundo, la formacion, que de toda la Accion reſulta: el tercero, la execucion: el quarto, la forma eſpecifica de la herida, en que toda la Accion reſulta terminada en el ſugeto paſsible: exempli gratia, forma el Dieſtro agente vn Tajo, y executale en ſu contrario, de ſuerte, que ſe hallan en la Treta todos quatro terminos: el primero, quando tuvo principio: el ſegundo, en la formacion: el tercero, en la execucion: el quarto, en lo formal de Cuchillada, qe ſe terminò en lo Paſsible.

For this Science, it is understood between the skillful agent and his opponent, with four significant terms pertaining to the Action and Passion of both combatants involved in each maneuver: the first, the beginning of the Action; the second, the formation, which results from the entire Action; the third, the execution; the fourth, the specific form of the wound, in which the whole Action ends up in the susceptible subject: for example, the skillful agent forms a Slash and executes it on his opponent, so that all four terms are present in the maneuver: the first, when it began; the second, in the formation; the third, in the execution; the fourth, in the formal Cut that ended in the Passive.

Oña, and others, in the cited place.

Eſtas miſmas conſideraciones ſe hallan en todas las demàs eſpecies de Tretas, que ſegun ſu organizacion, y potencia cientificamente por inteligencia, y exercicio, puede formar el Dieſtro agente, y recibir el paſsible.

These same considerations are found in all the other species of maneuvers, which according to their organization and scientifically by intelligence and exercise, the skillful agent can form, and the passive can receive.

Como padece el ſugeto paſsible, y como el agente?

Advierteſe, que ſi ſugeto paſsivo padece como recpipiente, tambien ay paſsion en el ſugeto activo, con tal diſtincion, que ſu padecer es en ſus miſmas acciones activas: mas el Paſsible padece las formas de los efectos, de las Tretas, y Heridas, que en èl ſe executan, vnas vezes por ignorar eſta Ciencia, otras, por los varios accidentes, que entre los combatientes ſuceden.

Please note that if the passive subject suffers as a recipient, there is also passion in the active subject, with the distinction that its suffering is in its own active actions; but the Passive suffers the forms of the effects, of the maneuvers, and wounds, which are executed in it, sometimes due to ignorance of this Science, other times due to the various accidents that occur between the combatants.

How does the passive subject suffer, and how does the agent?

De que reſulta, que la produccion de la Herida por Treta, y execucion eſtà en el Agente; y el actual efecto de la forma eſtà en el Paſsible, no por comutacion de los ſugetos, ſino porque de parte del vno es la produccion, y de parte del otro es la recepcion; con que ſe perficiona la forma terminada en el efecto: y eſto no haze vn vnivoco por sì, que ſolo ſe halla quando los extermos ſon vnibles, como en la Subſtancia, y el Accidente, entre los quales media la inherencia: mas la potencia, que admite paſsion en el agente Dieſtro, como agente Phyſico, no es paſsible, como en el recipiente de la herida: con que no pende ſu ſer formal en el acto de la qualidad ſola, como potencia activa, ſino de la quantidad terminada, que es paſsiva; porque à la verdad, la recepcion de la herida es la forma terminada, que dependiò de agena potencia activa.

From which it follows that the production of the wound by maneuver, and execution is in the Agent; and the actual effect of the form is in the Passive, not by the interchange of the subjects, but because from the one part is the production, and from the other part is the reception; with this, the form perfected in the effect is achieved: and this does not make a univocal by itself, which is only found when the extremes are unifiable, as in Substance and Accident, between which inherence mediates: but the power, which admits passion in the skilled agent, as a Physical agent, is not passive, as in the recipient of the wound: with this, its formal being does not depend on the act of quality alone, as active power, but on the determined quantity, which is passive; because in truth, the reception of the wound is the finished form, which depended on a foreign active power.

De que ſe ſigue, que extrinſecamente es poſterior la recepcion reſpecto à la produccion. Y ſiendo, como es, poſterior la forma terminada en la herida, que la produccion, que fue anterior en ſu primitivo ſer por ente real, ſe concluye, que no es vinivoco por sì, ni ſe vnen ſus extremos vnivocamente, aunque en el todo ſe admita vna dnominacion por la herida conſumada, Tajo, Eſtocada, &c.

From this it follows that extrinsically, reception is posterior to production. And being, as it is, posterior the finished form in the wound, than the production, which was anterior in its primitive being by a real entity, it is concluded that it is not univocal by itself, nor are its extremes univocally united, although in the whole a denomination is admitted by the consummated wound, Slash, Thrust, etc.

De lo referido queda demonſtrable, que eſta Predicamento es diſtinto del antecedente, y requiere Categoria diſtinta. En eſta conſideracion, el exercicio activo, y el acto determinado, no ſon vnivocos, por la diferencia operativa en los ſugetos combatientes, con que recamente la Paſsion, y Paſsible es diſtinto Predicamento, en que ſe forma Schema.

From the above, it is demonstrable that this Predicate is distinct from the previous one and requires a distinct Category. In this consideration, active exercise and the determined act are not univocal, due to the operative difference in the fighting subjects, with which Passion and Passive are distinct Predicates, in which a schema is formed.
